Alarms clocks don't wake one up, they just destroy the quality of sleep.

I've got to agree. Alarm clocks are an attempt at a technological solution to a sociological problem. If you're using one other than to get up extra-early on special occasions (catching flights etc), and in particular if you're using one every workday, then you are probably chronically sleep-deprived, and getting you a bigger alarm clock is like getting a drunkard a bigger gin-bottle. Go to bed earlier!
